Absolutely loved the first chapter! :)

This is Lisa's third Malory Towers book and I think it is her best yet, I thoroughly enjoyed it whilst I was scanning it page by page onto my computer. Sadly, as I have pointed out before, Lisa died before she was able to see any of her four books up on the website, but I think she would have been delighted that others have been able to enjoy her books. It is also just worth repeating that she wrote these books before Pamela Cox's sequels were published.

I agree with Carlotta, Tony. :D The first part is superb and I look forward to future chapters. :D

I think Lisa has a lovely writing style and really captures Enid's world of Malory Towers.

It's so sad that Lisa died but as you say Tony, she would have been thrilled that we are all enjoying her fantastic work. :D

Brilliant start to the new sequel, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to read more! Penelope sounds interesting, and Felicity seems very enthusiastic.

I was sorry to hear that she had died too. I really enjoyed the other Felicity books she wrote. I won't begin to read this one until all the chapters are available because I prefer to read the book all the way through. I look forward to reading it. :)

Just read Chapter 2; what a great idea getting a new french mistress in! Can't wait for the next chapter, all looks very promising to be an exciting term!

It's certainly building up to be a great book!
Read Chapter 3 yesterday and there's a real sense of a great and exciting story on the way! Love it!
I kept hoping Penelope would appear - really can't wait to 'meet' her! :D

I've got behind with the serials, having been too busy with other things. I still have to finish the Grey Heron. I was about half way, but it might be better to start from the beginning again. Maybe I should save it for the Christmas period when I have more time for a good read.
Anyway, I will get on to this one as soon as I can.

Another enjoyable chapter. I was interested in the arrival of Penelope, she does sound rather stuck up! I look forward to next weeks chapter. :D

A fantastic chapter, have just read it.
Love the sound of Penelope - sounds like there are going to be some very interesting happenings this term! I'm intrigued to know what she's going to get up to!
Lisa has a real talent of making you want to read more! :)
